A Heartfelt Salute to #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay On this special day, I’m embracing an Indigenous tradition of sharing knowledge. A wise First Nation community member once told me, “If you have knowledge, you share it.” As someone privileged to work with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, I’m eager to pass on what I’ve learned about our collective journey towards Reconciliation, especially in the context of the #TruthandReconciliationCommission #CalltoAction92. Learning from a True Leader The Honourable Murray Sinclair, Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, recently shared some insights. He emphasized that corporate leaders need to understand their role in the history and the damage done to Indigenous cultures, resources, and properties. This understanding is crucial for shaping the direction of Reconciliation from Corporate Canada. A Call for Change in Corporate Culture Sinclair’s message is clear: Corporate Canada’s responsibility extends beyond contracts and employment. It’s about a fundamental shift in our corporate culture - how we think, how we do business, and how we talk about each other and Indigenous resources. The Journey of Reconciliation In Sinclair’s inspiring words, “Reconciliation is a constant effort.” I’m committed to this journey, ready to learn, unlearn, and share my learning. Join the Conversation.

Truly An insightful discussion.
Exciting week as our Head of Partnerships and Community Impact, Timothy Mugenyi engaged in a dynamic panel discussion hosted by East-West Management Institute USAID/Uganda Civil Society Strengthening Activity. 🌍 The panel dove deep into the vital topic of cultivating meaningful partnerships between civil society organizations and the private sector.

A nation reflecting: beyond January 26 January 26 means different things for different people in our community. It’s a day when those who have the opportunity to escape injustice can look forward to or acknowledge a better future here in Australia. For many people, this date marks the beginning of colonisation and the survival of our First Nations people. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, as well as their allies, consider this date as Survival Day. We must acknowledge the injustices and the devastating impact of colonisation. January 26 serves as a reminder of the creative resistance, resilience, and survival of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We need to understand the truth of what has happened in our past, acknowledge those past wrongs, and actively contribute to a better and more reconciled future. Listening is a powerful and supportive act. It can be uncomfortable, as it often means questioning and unlearning what we have held to be true. The path to achieving meaningful reconciliation is filled with many difficult challenges, as we have seen over the last year. There is still much we can do as individuals and as an organisation to close the gap and address the disadvantages faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
